WORLD OF RADIO 1421 SUMMARY:
*Coup in Mauritania August 6 put SW 4845 and 7245 off the air for at
least a week, but could be monitored on MW 783 [by Carlos Gonçalves,
Portugal], by satellite and internet, e.g. via
http://www.publicradiofan.com
*XEXQ, 6045, San Luís Potosí, México, again barely audible with
antenna improvement
*R. Habana Cuba, Esperanto, Sunday at 2330 heard on 5965 only,
contrary to its own schedule
*Esperanto SW broadcasters are mainly communist, 5 hours a day from
China, half an hour a week from Cuba, repeated several times
*On August 11, RHC made sudden frequency changes: 15120 and 15360 at
11-15, ex 9550 and 11805; 6140 and 6180 exchange languages in
evenings, so 6140 now in English 01-07, and 6180 goes off before VOA
opens English at 0500, finally ending four-month-old collision
*15360 has het at 1400-1415 from off-frequency TWR Swaziland
*NBC Radio, St. Vincent & Grenadines, now has webcast; website
indicates only on FM, but logged in March on MW 700, ex-710, ex-705
*HCJB, Ecuador, 6050, heard as early as 1920 UT in Florida
*HCJB German service at 0630-0730 to Europe on 9740, off air since Aug
1, was back by Aug 11
*R. Bethel, Arequipa, Perú, active on 5949.6 at midday and also at
sunrise
*R. Cultura, Araraquara, Brasil, reactivated on 3365
*R. Eldorado ESPN, Brasil, distorted on 5745, probably spur
*R. Nacional da Amazónia, ex-6180 has been varying around 6188.1, away
from Cuba, but now bothering Serbia on 6190 at 0000
*Brasil relay of China at 0300, nominal 9665, heard on 9668.1, exactly
same offset, so same transmitter with a mind of its own?
*R. Globo heard with distorted signal on 12085, spur of 11805?
*R. Renascença, Portugal`s Catholic network starts new service R. Sim
on all the MW frequencies and some of the FM
*REE, Spain, has many hours set aside for sports coverage Saturday and
Sunday evenings, but heard lately here with classical music Saturday
afternoons, world music Sundays. Football championships to bring
sports back from Aug 31; on 15110, 17595
*World of Radio 1421, is semi-finished. Check our website for much
more at your leisure if you can cope with lots of text:
http://www.worldofradio.org
*Our address, woradio at yahoo.com
*Thanks for generous financial support from Dave Ewing in Illiinois
who sent a check in the mail to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid, OK
73702, USA
*Radio Maarifa heard at 2000-2100 in Arabic and some French IDs on
9565, is a CVC service via Jülich, Germany, stealth Christianity, not
as it seems just ``an attitude for life``
*Writers to mailbag of Austrian Radio lament that English will be
cancelled by end of year, or earlier?
*R. Romania International`s two new transmitters at Galbeni have been
on sporadically; what`s going on. 11790 at 0000 was very good
*With Russia invading Georgia, maybe it wasn`t such a good idea for
VOA to cancel Russian broadcasts a few weeks ago; see
http://www.freemediaonline.org/silencing_of_voice_of_america_russian_23072008.htm
and http://www.bloggernews.net/117189
*But Georgian service still exists, so VOA doubles that from 30 to 60
minutes; RFE/RL adds another hour to 3:15 already. Complete schedules
in DX Listening Digests 8-091 and 8-092
*Also see Kim Elliott`s comments at http://www.kimandrewelliott.com
*List of military communication frequencies which may be active in
Georgia, in DXLD 8-091
*R. Kuwait has been putting spur in the 20m hamband, 14125. Wolfgang
Büschel computed how it happens, leapfrog mix between 9855 and 11990
when both are on air, 1815-2100
*V. of Indonesia sticking to 11784.9v, relatively clear from 1400
after the English hour is over, in Malay, but still a heterodyne from
another off-frequency station, R. Guaíba, Brasil just below it
*R. Singapore International cleans out its stock of stuff, now that
it`s closed down, sending extra blank QSLs and a kilogram of mementos
*VOA moves onto some vacated Singapore frequencies the next day, 6000
and 7235
*After 8 days on 5985.78, Myanma Radio back on 5985.00 from August 12,
probably from Yangon and Nay Pyi Taw sites respectively
*News text service Journaline demonstrated in VIP car at Beijing
Olympix, via DRM transmitted from BBC Thailand
*Reporters Without Borders pulls off clandestine radio stunt in
Beijing on opening day, 104.4 FM criticizing government, audio at
http://www.rsf-persan.org//chine/ANG.mp3
*China has not relented with Firedrake jamming as usual on multiple
frequencies
*R. Australia is our SW source for Olympic coverage, relaying ABC
Local Radio until 1500; only on Pacific service, not Asian
*World Harvest Radio IDs heard twice in Italy on 9555 between 1330-
1500, but not scheduled there. Must be new relay via KHBN, Palau,
which is scheduled; blocked in North America by DentroCuban jamming
*WEWN`s downtime for maintenance ended Aug 9, again colliding with
Cairo at 2115 on 11550
*WDSS, Grand Rapids MI, 1680, drops R. Disney, and from 18 Aug becomes
WPRI with new format Public Reality Radio
*CJLO, 1690, Montreal, has begun testing from Concordia University
*Propagation outlook from Boulder, August 5 ###
